stigate the etiology underlying the attribution of SLE to lung cancer. Both meta-analysis and MR analysis results suggested that SLE was associated with an increased lung cancer risk. Further investigations are warranted to investigate the etiology underlying the attribution of SLE to lung cancer. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is considered to be an effective and safe treatment in patients with primary lung cancer. If local recurrence is confirmed following SBRT, surgical treatment is a possibility. The present study aimed to clarify the safety and survival outcomes of salvage surgery in primary lung cancer patients with local recurrence following SBRT. All subjects were patients with primary lung cancer who underwent surgical treatment for local recurrence following SBRT during the period from July 2005 to July 2015. We evaluated the reason for SBRT selection, the surgical procedure, postoperative complications, and prognosis. Of 932 patients underwent SBRT as treatment for primary lung cancer, 48 patients (5.2%) had local recurrence alone and 19 patients (2.0%) underwent salvage surgery. SBRT was selected in eight medically operable patients who refused surgery, and in 11 patients considered medically inoperable by their pulmonologist. Lobectomy was performed in 15 patients. Postoperati consideration because complete resection is not possible in all cases. Flail chest and severely displaced rib fractures due to blunt trauma can be associated with intrathoracic injuries. At our institution, two thoracic surgeons perform all surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) one performs routine uniportal thoracoscopy (R-VATS) at the time of SSRF and the other for only select cases (S-VATS). In this pilot study, we hypothesized that R-VATS at the time of SSRF identifies and addresses intrathoracic injuries not seen on imaging and may impact patient outcomes. A retrospective review of all patients who underwent SSRF from 2013-2019 at our institution was performed for severely displaced rib fractures or flail chest. Data collected included demographics, imaging results, treatment strategy, and operative findings. Ninety-nine patients underwent SSRF. Uniportal thoracoscopy was performed on 69% of these patients. When thoracoscopy was performed, 31 additional injuries were identified. R-VATS identified 23 additional intrathoracic findings at time of thoracoscopy no Postoperative assessment of pulmonary function is important for estimating the risk of thoracic surgery and long-term disability following pulmonary resection, including predicted postoperative (ppo) forced expiratory volume (FEV) in one second (ppoFEV ) and percent predicted lung diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (ppo%DLCO) estimation. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ms1943.html The ppo values were compared using four different estimation methods between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and non-COPD patients and according to the resected lobe. This prospective study included 59 eligible patients requiring single lobectomy and succeeded in performing pulmonary function tests at 3 and 12 months after lobectomy. The ppoFEV and ppo%DLCO were compared with poFEV and po%DLCO obtained at 3 and 12 months after lobectomy. The ppo values were estimated using the four usual methods the 19-segment anatomical technique (S), perfusion scintigraphy (Q), quantitative CT (CT), and quantitative CT with low attenuation volume (CT ) subtractionrflow limitation. The S method is adequate for calculating ppoFEV1 and ppo%DLCO when patients are classified as non-COPD and COPD. However, S sometimes overestimates the ppoFEV1 and ppo%DLCO when patients are classified according to the resected lobe. The CTLAV method may be the method of choice instead of S for calculating ppoFEV1 and ppo%DLCO in patients who undergo lung lobectomy despite the presence or absence of airflow limitation.[This corrects the article DOI 10.1107/S2056989020005575.].In the title mol-ecular salt, (C10H10N3)2[Ni(CN)4], the dihedral angle between the pyridine rings in the cation is 1.92 (13)° and the complete anion is generated by a crystallographic centre of symmetry. An intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs in the cation, which closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, the components are linked by N-H⋯N and weak C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which generate chains propagating in the [101] direction. Weak aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions are also observed. A Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots indicate that the most important contact types in the crystal packing are N⋯H/H⋯N, C⋯H/H⋯C and H⋯H with contributions of 37.2, 28.3 and 21.9%, respectively.Fifteen 4-(2-meth-oxy-phen-yl)piperazin-1-ium salts containing organic anions have been prepared and structurally characterized. In the isostructural 4-chloro-benzoate and 4-bromo-benzoate salts, C11H17N2O+·C7H4ClO2- (I) and C11H17N2O+·C7H4BrO2- (II), and the 4-iodo-benzoate salt C11H17N2O+·C7H4IO2- (III), the ions are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric R44(12) four-ion aggregates; a similar aggregate is formed in the 2-chloro-benzoate salt (V), isomeric with (I). In the 2-fluoro-benzoate salt C11H17N2O+·C7H4FO2- (IV), and the isomorphous pair of salts, the 2-bromo-benzoate (VI), isomeric with (II) and 2-iodo-benzoate (VII), isomeric with (III), N-H⋯O and C-H⋯π(arene) interactions link the components into three-dimensional arrays. Four-ion R44(12) aggregates are also found in the 2-methyl-benzoate, 4-amino-benzoate and 4-nitro-benzoate salts, C11H17N2O+·C8H7O2- (VIII), C11H17N2O+·C7H6NO2- (IX) and C11H17N2O+·C7H4NO4- (X), but those in (IX) are linked into complex sheets by an additional N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the 3,5-dinitrobenzoate salt, C11H17N2O+·C7H3N2O6-·2H2O (XI), N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into a complex ribbon structure. In the picrate salt, C11H17N2O+·C6H2N3O7- (XII), the four-ion aggregates are linked into chains of rings by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the hydrogen maleate salt, C11H17N2O+·C4H3O4- (XIII), two- and three-centre hydrogen bonds link the ions into a ribbon structure while both anions contain very short but asymmetric O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, having O⋯O distances of 2.4447 (16) and 2.4707 (17) Å. O-H⋯O Hydrogen bonds link the anions in the hydrogen fumarate salt (XIV), isomeric with (XIII), into chains that are linked into sheets via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the hydrogen (2R,3R)-tartrate salt, C11H17N2O+·C4H5O6-·1.698H2O (XV), the anions are linked into sheets by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Comparisons are made with the structures of some related compounds.
